Please take this off-list, or to some more appropriate list (I think it’s already deep-ended past objc-language; is there an algol-like-language list?) Otherwise we’ll be hearing about the Burroughs B500 soon, and I don’t think I can take that again. I don’t mean to be rude, but I’m about at my personal limit of patience with the amount of off-topic stuff one has to wade through on the Apple lists lately (especially xcode-users, but here too.) I’m not a moderator and I’m not here as part of my job description; I hang out when I have time to and mostly try to answer questions to help people out. If the list gets too noisy I tend to give up and ignore it for weeks or months before coming back. I’m sure there are other experienced people here who do the same. It’s to everyone’s benefit if the list stays on topic so that people who need help can get it and people who want to offer help can give it. —Jens
